One of the most exciting moments for an event organiser is seeing tickets sell out. But what happens when demand exceeds supply, and fans who missed out on the initial sale still want to attend? Well good news, we’ve introduced a new feature to bridge the gap - our Waiting list. This new tool will allow you to capture the interest of potential visitors who missed out on tickets, all while enriching your audience insights.


What does the waiting list do?

The Waiting list is a powerful addition to your event management toolkit. When an event sells out, instead of turning fans away, you can encourage them to join the waiting list in case more tickets become available.

Furthermore, the Waiting list also captures valuable data about potential visitors. This means you’ll have a clear picture of the true demand for your event and access to a contact list of people who are eager to attend.

Why use the waiting list?

The benefits of the Waiting list go beyond just filling extra spots. Here’s why it can make a real difference for your event:

1. Keep engagement high

Even after selling out, the momentum of your event doesn’t have to stop. You now have the tools to reach out and engage with potential future ticket buyers.

2. Gain valuable insights

You can monitor real-time demand for your event. This data is crucial, helping you make informed decisions about potential additional ticket releases or even future or alternative event planning.

3. Maximise attendance

The waiting list integrates seamlessly with your ticket shop, alerting interested parties the moment tickets become available. This can help you be certain that every ticket is used.
